Corpus analysis for Opcodes
- In this selection, "opcodes" usually appears near the end of the sentence. The average example has 23.3 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, undocumented, actual, operand, clash, machine and differ stand out and add context to how "opcodes" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include 16 bit opcodes have less and and related opcodes into emulation. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "opcodes" sits close to words such as aal, aalto and aardvark, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with opcodes
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
All these CPUs are opcode compatible (including undocumented opcodes ). (9 words)
In Thumb, the 16-bit opcodes have less functionality. (9 words)
This sequence of text lines may include opcodes or directives. (10 words)
To further conserve encoding space, most registers are expressed in opcodes using three or four bits, the latter via an opcode prefix in 64-bit mode, while at most one operand to an instruction can be a memory location. (39 words)
For example, ADD $0,$1,3 means "Set $0 to the sum of $1 and 3." Most instructions can take either immediate values or register contents; thus a single instruction mnemonic may correspond to one of two opcodes. (38 words)
All registers are accessed through standard ARM architecture coprocessor mapping mechanism. iwMMXt occupies coprocessors 0 and 1 space, and some of its opcodes clash with the opcodes of the earlier floating-point extension, FPA. (34 words)

All these CPUs are opcode compatible (including undocumented opcodes ).
An ISA includes a specification of the set of opcodes ( machine language ), and the native commands implemented by a particular processor.
Every instruction in the 8008 has an equivalent instruction in the 8080 (even though the actual opcodes differ between the two CPUs).
For all single-operand opcodes, it was permissible for the source and destination accumulators to be the same, and the operation functioned as expected.
For example, ADD $0,$1,3 means "Set $0 to the sum of $1 and 3." Most instructions can take either immediate values or register contents; thus a single instruction mnemonic may correspond to one of two opcodes.
However the address of the opcode typically cannot contain any null characters and the locations of these opcodes can vary between applications and versions of the operating system.
Instead, the MicroVAX I was the first VAX implementation to move some of the more complex VAX instructions (such as the packed decimal and related opcodes) into emulation software.
In Thumb, the 16-bit opcodes have less functionality.
No opcodes were specifically dedicated to loading or storing memory; this occurred as a side effect of assignment to certain A registers.
Some 6809 opcodes also live on in the Freescale embedded processors.
The decoding of single byte opcodes can be very simply and efficiently handled by a branch table using the opcode directly as an index.
This makes it attractive for data structures that may be built once and loaded without reconstruction, such as language dictionaries (or program dictionaries, such as the opcodes of an assembler or interpreter).
This required small opcodes in order to leave room for a reasonably sized constant in a 32-bit instruction word.
This sequence of text lines may include opcodes or directives.
To further conserve encoding space, most registers are expressed in opcodes using three or four bits, the latter via an opcode prefix in 64-bit mode, while at most one operand to an instruction can be a memory location.
